On Sept. 21, months of mowing and organizing will come together during Owego\u2019s 1st annual International Day of Peace Festival and \u201cStand for Peace\u201d event at 100 Elm St. in Owego, N.Y., and at Owego Schoolhouse Antiques. The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This grassroots effort is free and open to the public, and will feature live entertainment, food vendors, and over 85 antique vendors. The festival has also been sanctioned by the United Nations as an official event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An invitation is also extended for guests to \u201cStand for Peace\u201d and form a human peace sign in the field next to the old schoolhouse. The formation will take place at 2 p.m., and will be photographed from the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will be entertainment outside by the peace sign as well as inside, where guests will also be able to browse through the antiques. The indoor music will take place in the building\u2019s auditorium, which won an award in 1958 for having the best acoustics in America. This is also the same auditorium that Robert Kennedy spoke at while serving as a Senator and during a visit to Owego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bands such as Glenmary\u2019s Ghost, Uncle Uku and the Guise, Voodoo Highway, and several more will entertain guests. There will be music throughout the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, Jeremiah Harvey, from Glenmary\u2019s Ghost, a jam band out of Owego, talked about their participation in the event and what it means to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love what it stands for,\u201d said Harvey of the peace effort. \u201cIt represents peace, love, and unity in a troubled world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The members of Glenmary\u2019s Ghost started playing together in 2015, and then officially formed as a band in 2018. The band performs a variety of Grateful Dead and Phish covers, and plans to bring their energy to the festival on Sept. 21. Glenmary\u2019s Ghost will perform for guests from 5:30 to 7 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Band members include Drew Thomas on lead guitar and backing vocals, Jon Lipka on rhythm guitar and lead vocals, Jake Kurtz on bass, and Jeremiah Harvey on drums and backing vocals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Harvey, they arrived at the band name because they practice on Glenmary Drive in Owego, and they also pay homage to the legend of the ghost at Devil\u2019s Elbow – thus arriving at Glenmary\u2019s Ghost for a band name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harvey stated that they have all played jam music, and now that they have been playing it together, it just comes naturally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe played as friends in 2015, and in 2018 we started to take things seriously,\u201d Harvey added, stating that they plan to bring a lot of peaceful energy to the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also performing is Voodoo Highway, a band comprised of members Dana Stewart on vocals and rhythm guitar, Bob Rynone on lead and slide guitar and vocals, Tom D\u2019Angelo on drums, and Irem Ayan on bass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Voodoo Highway heard about the peace sign and festival, they were all in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn a world that is increasingly fractured, celebrating peace seems like a wonderful and important thing to do,\u201d said Stewart of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the festival, the band will be bringing the joy and energy to the stage that their fans have come to enjoy over the years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are truly honored to be included in this great event and we can’t wait,\u201d Stewart added. The band\u2019s performance will take place by the peace sign from 11:30 to 1 p.m. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other performances include Kevin Doupe, A Band of Brothers, Uncle Uku and the Guise, J Floyd, A Part of Pluto, and then Glenmary\u2019s Ghost. Smoketown, a Celtic duo, will be performing as well between sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The owner of Owego Schoolhouse Antiques, Leonard Hilldale, began mowing the peace sign over the summer, and has over 500 hours on his tractor. Hilldale came up with the idea for the event in an effort to spread a message of peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe just want people to come and join us in standing for peace,\u201d said Hilldale, who is host to the event. He is also reaching out to area houses of worship to ring their bell at 2 p.m. and join in this effort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
